Only two women made the salary list's top 100: Serena Williams, at No. 40; and Maria Sharapova, at No. 88. Sharapova tumbled after admitting to using a banned substance that this week drew a two-year suspension from women's tennis.
Ronaldo, of European soccer club Real Madrid, was paid $88 million up to June 1, 2016, with $56 million in salary and $32 million in endorsements. Second on the list: Argentina soccer star Lionel Messi.
It is the first time since 2000 that neither boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. nor golfer Tiger Woods topped the list. Mayweather is retired but reportedly is seeking a fight against mixed martial arts headliner Conor McGregor. He was 2015's highest-paid athlete. Woods continues to struggle with health issues and has not won a major golf tournament in eight years.
Woods was 12th.
Also a soccer standout, Messi was paid $81.4 million over the past 12 months
James earned more than the Barcelona and Real Madrid players in endorsements ($54 million), although his $23.2 million salary was dwarfed by the wages of Ronaldo and Messi ($53.4m).
Basketball had three players in the top 10 — more than any other sport — with Kevin Durant ($56.2 million) fifth and Kobe Bryant ($50 million) in 10th.
Baseball did not have a representative in the top 10, but was the most prolific in the first 100 with 26 players listed. The NFL was next with 21, topped by Panthers quarterback Cam Newton ($53.1 million) in seventh spot.
Jordan Spieth (ninth at $52.8 million) was the biggest mover in the list, surging from 85th last year after capitalizing on his two major wins in 2015.
